Wacky Nation (published by Icon Books Ltd) is the authoritive source for all mad, crazy, daft, eccentric or just plain loony events, races, traditions and contests (even World Championships) in the UK.  With a strong practical, get-involved-if-you-dare streak, "Wacky Nation" charts these unusual days out, with ratings for Spectator Fun, Pain Factor, Training Required, Chance of Becoming World Champion and more. There are tips on winning or simply remaining unscathed, based on the intrepid authors' own experiences, alongside numerous absurdly comic anecdotes

Take a look at some of the fab photographs in the book and a sneak preview at one of the entries. Other absolutely mad contests to be found in Wacky Nation include Clog Cobbing, Pooh Sticks, Pea Throwing and Bottle Kicking. The entries have also recently been covered in Rory and Paddy's Great British Adventure, shown on Channel 5. If you thought that was funny, wait till you read Wacky Nation.
